Pausing, Weld glanced at Clockblocker, as if expecting a response.  When Clockblocker only nodded assent, Weld’s eyebrows rose a fraction in surprise.

I think this is a mixture of what I just said and the resolve to go easier on Weld.

He continued, “Gives us a chance to talk about our recent patrols, fears, concerns, ideas.  Or hell, just talk, because I’m seeing this trend where we only see each other in passing, while patrolling or in class, and some of you are going out of your way to spend time together and hash stuff out, even at the detriment of stuff like school.”

Socialization is important when you want the team to work well together.

“You’re talking about class, earlier,” Clockblocker said.

Ah, right… I’m not sure that’s quite exemplary, but to my knowledge, Weld doesn’t have the full picture.

“More or less.  Not saying it’s a bad thing, but we can restructure our schedules, make time for it, instead of detracting from an area we need to pay attention to.”

Yeah, that’s probably a good idea.
